Tai You Con 2017

Santa brought Aeden a cosplay costume for Christmas and we got him a day pass to the Tai You Con.

Riley Turns 9!

We were lucky enough to celebrate Riley's 9th birthday with her.  

Overheard: Self-portrait

Me to Aeden: You should take a self portrait every day for this year.

Aeden: Why?

Me: So you can see how much you change in a year.

Eric: Or don't change...maybe you are immortal.

All: (give each other looks of nefariousness)

Aeden: Yeah but that would take a while.

Me:  To take a picture??

Aeden: Oh!  I thought you meant drawing a self portrait every day.  That is what a self portrait is, a drawing of yourself.

Me:  Or a selfie taken with a camera...

This conversation clearly highlights the difference in the way Aeden and I think!

Gina's Girls

We were lucky enough to see four of Gina's girls on New Years Day.  It has been YEARS since we have seen them.

Hopefully I can get the names right.  I remember how irked I would be when mistaken for one of my sisters. :)

Overheard: Littles Day

Aeden: Have you heard of a webkinz?

Riley: I have heard of a napkin and I have heard of a web. But no I have not heard of a webkinz.

Me: Think about what you for lunch.

Evan: I want food.

Evan (as we were driving):  I have been in the car the longest and I still haven't kicked your seat like Riley!

Aeden

Love this boy!

Cousin Christmas

Neil, Jessie, Riley and Evan were gracious enough to host Christmas.  We had a blast!  Dinner was build your own pizza and Riley picked out a great apron for Aeden to wear!
